We are thrilled to present A.T.L.A.N, our first collaboration with KAMVA Collective, a cultural production house from South Africa.

The event will feature a selection of documentary and short films by KAMVA Collective followed by a Zoom Q&A session with the founders Amilcar Patel and Chris Kets - and musician Mxshi Mo

These unique programs celebrate the rich and diverse cultures of South Africa, bringing their stories to a global audience.

6SENSE tells the story of a groundbreaking Gqom music producer whose extraordinary journey from rural South Africa to international acclaim is both inspiring and transformative. The self-narrated hybrid documentary explores Mxshi Mo's early life in the rural foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, South Africa. The film poignantly delves into his realisation around his loss of sight and his discovery of electronic dance music as a way to connect with the outside world - shining a light on a potential path out of his personal darkness.

Directed by duo Amílcar Patel and Chris Kets from Boiler Rooms Third Space fame, 6SENSE is produced by KAMVA Collective and is shot on location in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and London, United Kingdom.

Starting 2024 off with what’s sure to be one of the finest films of the year. Join us as we bring you a preview of the brilliant American Fiction starring Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae and Erika Alexander.

Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut is both a wicked satire about the commodification of marginalised voices and a portrait of an artist forced to re-examine his integrity.

Monk (Jeffrey Wright) is a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Adapted from Percival Everett’s novel Erasure, Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut is a wildly entertaining send-up of our hunger for so-called authenticity. Featuring stellar supporting turns from Issa Rae and Erika Alexander, and a string of cheeky cameos, American Fiction is a timely reflection on the fictions we tell ourselves about race, progress, and community.

Presented by We Are Parable and Cables and Cameras.
